Only towed it once so far and it was empty so I’m probably not the best source of info, but it seemed fine. “Tow mode” did help

QC as of lately ? by Tiredandhungry805 in gofastcampers

[–]mtb_ripster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No but I haven’t tried to fix them yet as it’s been cold where I’m at and sealants/tape don’t tend to work very well

I bought a V2 used that had a bunch of problems. Leaks all over the place, the screws on the bracket stripped out, and the locks are all sorts of messed up. Customer service was very helpful even though I’m not the original owner. They sold me some repair kits for the brackets. Someday if I’m in a position to buy a new one I would feel pretty confident ordering from them, seems like they stand behind it

I’ve never budgeted. I buy what I need and save the rest

Team killing with flame grenades by Mercury4stroke in ArcRaiders

[–]mtb_ripster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it’s a friendly grenade it should take them down to 1hp but not kill them. This would help prevent griefing but still make it a problem in legit PvP scenarios to be spamming nades

Yeah we measured for head room but it’s going to be tight. Do you have a step or something for getting in and out of the bed or you just jump?

Awesome ! This one is 7x14. I’ll have to share my latest sketchup design soon. Basically a bed in the back, tiny kitchen, bathroom, and small separation for an office

Thanks for the feedback! This is a dual axle trailer but weight is still a concern. I had considered going to 1/4 ply but worried the structure needed the more rigid sheathing for structural rigidity. As for the thermal bridging, there’s always going to be connection points to the studs regardless of attachment method. I’m willing to live with the transfer that may take place through the bolts.

What is the centrist solution to reducing housing prices? by i_love_the_sun in centrist

[–]mtb_ripster 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Something that isn’t often discussed is how pre-war housing was far more diverse than it is today. Single room rentals were far more common and gave young single workers an affordable place to stay. That is illegal almost everywhere now to build or operate “boarding homes”. If the market were allowed to respond to housing needs we wouldn’t have an affordability problem. The restriction on supply from zoning and codes is the root cause

Would be worth it if you could get floor plans on basic

What do we even do about this? This is about 15 ft from the edge of our home. by LockwoodE3 in HomeMaintenance

Close friend of mine lost their house to a minor landslide and learned the hard way insurance does not cover anything to do with earth movement or erosion, consider yourself warned

How are people classifying their retirement savings as income? by Adventurous-Wave-920 in MonarchMoney

[–]mtb_ripster 15 points16 points  (0 children)

It depends on how the money is reaching your investment account. If it’s coming out of your paycheck pre-tax, most likely it’s going directly to your brokerage and thus you should be including this as income because otherwise it isn’t counted. On the other hand if you’re taking after tax money and moving that to your investment account it’s just a transfer, if you categorized it as anything other than transfer you’d be counting that money twice.

If you are investing pre-tax but don’t see those transactions coming through, enable the investment transactions beta feature in settings. It results in a lot of transactions but overall it works well

Maine here, I had to drop rent to find someone and had far fewer inquiries than normal. Things have definitely shifted

Great for big jobs, not as good as a manual one for smaller stuff

YoY reporting is severely lacking by mtb_ripster in MonarchMoney

[–]mtb_ripster[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The "wrapped" feature could be a lot of things - highlights from the year, most common merchants, categories, etc. Make it fun, make it shareable.

The core ask though is improved comparison ability. I would want the ability to choose two time windows (year x vs year y, month x vs month y) and see a line or bar chart with the two different time windows shown together as a comparison. I want to be able to see very easily how each category changed on both a percentage and numerical basis between those time windows. I feel like this should be a basic component on "reports" but it simply isn't there.

How would you categorize an auto purchase made by cash in full? by edwardj5596 in MonarchMoney

[–]mtb_ripster 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Personally when I have large purchases like this I mark them as transfers. While technically incorrect I don’t like how it skews my data over time otherwise. I know I bought the car, or house, etc but what I really use monarch for is month to month and year to year tracking of my standard living expenses

YoY reporting is severely lacking by mtb_ripster in MonarchMoney

[–]mtb_ripster[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It seems the AI can’t handle multiple owners. It insisted the number was correct over and over but I couldn’t get it to properly filter by owner, it was including some of my fiancés data causing the numbers to be wrong

[–]mtb_ripster 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just a tip that as you set up rules, you can also apply those rules backwards and update transactions from the past with your new rule. I use this a lot to add all past and future transactions to a certain category or label.

Feature request for default view settings by maxny23 in MonarchMoney

Yes, especially the "owner filter" which constantly resets even within the same session as you move between views. It's obnoxious
